Dave, funny you should mention "the dog", you must be prescient. In my next post I was going to mention what is a most impressive case in the Vienna Museum. In the center of the meteorite room in an old case is a group of very nice specimens. There is a nice size half crusted piece of Shergotty. Just next to it is one piece, and one whole fully crusted shiny black Nakhla meteorites. Now I have to admit that I broke my glasses early on the trip but I could still see pretty well and I thought I saw a little bit of reddish brown hair on the whole stone. Boy I thought, they should keep their displays a little more tidy. Right below the Shergotty was a very nice part crusted piece of Chassigny. Beautiful!
